oh yes. i use photoshop on some pics to spice things up.. took some pics today. hope to get a few up tonight for you guys
I like them all. The stalker just looks really cool. Love the subtle color highlights. Outback in the 3rd pic looks like it could be a picture of Chuck Norris from Missing in action movies. Redder hair of course

exactly what i was thinking
You nailed it brother. It was easy to see. At first I thought it was Delta Force movie than it hit me it was MIA.
great GREAT shots...OB looks crazy bada$$ and mean in that 3rd one...real nice and bright colors in both that one and the 2nd..i like it
Another great round of shots. where did the knife that zartan has come from. Looks great in his hands.
Dude, these are AMAZING! I can't shoot photo's at all, but you do a great job! KEEP UP THE AWESOME PICS!
that Copperhead/Outback shot might be the coolest shot of figures i've ever seen...its beautiful
thank you.. pretty cool spot for pics.. ill be headin back out there today for some more
The one with Outback about to gut a Blueshirt is awesome. I'd buy a print of that if it were available.
Tough call picking between Outback and Airborne s which is cooler. Man you definately got camera and setup skills.
Airbourne's a great shot, but the others are so damn artistic. The blur that gives a sense of motion in Outbacks arm is genious, The shot with the dog/wlof is unique and the last one that's tough to make out but mysterious with the guy in the sunlight , pffft is all I can say. wow!
first off.. Rick.. thank you for that awesome feedback. i try my hardest to take original shots. i get visions in my head of what i want to shoot and try to capture that in my photography. kind of like painting a picture, but snapping one instead.
2nd.. snakeling that is the ROC Footloose with POC Recondo's vest and a painted boonie hat off a ROC Jungle Assult Ripcord.

I couldn't have said it better myself, of course I don't have the training in photography and I prefer to work indoors.
i have no training in photography either, i do have a degree in graphic design, my background is construction, my schooling for graphics never covered photography mainly web design and some video editing. ive been taking pics since 07 and have developed my own style and now have a better eye for what i want to shoot. i feel im still learning when it comes to photography.
i used to do alot of, and still do from time to time, indoor shots. it is a good way to help develop your skill and style. you have more control over your envirorments, which can be very helpful. a pointer for indoor shots, use multiple light sources. i use 3 led flashlights when shooting inside. and try to stay a minimum of 3 feet away from your shots. when to close to your pics and can make focusing a little hard and pics dont always come out that great. just speaking from my own personal experience.
remember that the better light source you have the better pics youll have. try shooting some shots outside sometime on a sunny day. pics come out crystal clear. i know it can be a lil wierd shooting pics of joes in the neighborhood, but you can find some nice private spots out in the woods or parks ya just gotta get out there and find them.

Thanks footloose, good indoor picture advice, Lighting has been killing me. Thanks for the advice!
Well I'll be damned I honestly thought you had some training in photography. I have two LEDs so looks like I should try for one more. As for keeping distance it really hasn't worked for me and the few times it did my photo needed some serious cropping which never seems to work out for me. I'm not breaking balls, I too am speaking from my own experience. I just keep shooting till I get what I'm after. I don't do to much free hand stuff but now and again its necessary, those are the hardest.
another great thing to have for indoor or outdoor is a tripod. you can get one at walmart or target for under $20. very helpful. i mainly use mine when indoors or on overcast days outside when the lighting isnt the greatest. helps keep your camera steady. which is very important when taking pics and not using a flash.
snakeling when you keep your distance you can still zoom in if youre having trouble focusing myabe trying backing up a little more. i understand sometimes you need to crop and i try not to do that either. i do a lot of my shots portrait style (verticle) so i can keep as much focus on the action or object as possible. another thing i do is i take multiple pictures and only keep the best of the batch. for instance i took about 85 pics yesterday and kept 10. not every shot is a winner when im shooting so i always take multiples from different angles. when indoors shooting take multiples with different lighting and angles. it can be time consuming at times for me but while taking pics i lose track of time all together. a normal shoot for me can last up to 3 hrs. sometimes you have to put in that time to capture the perfect shot that you want.

Oh I do take a lot of pics and few make the cut. I stabilize my camera without use of a tripod, though somewhere down the road I will probably get one. I plan on getting gory when the Halloween supplies hit the market. I had a stash of theatrical blood but can't find it anymore. Hopefully I'll be getting another Tech Deck set or two in the not to distant future also.
I borrow my mom's camera and its not the greatest so that is another thing I need to get in the future. But I don't know exactly where to start with a new camera. I'm not going to spend a bunch but at the same time I want a good one.
